Abstract
Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) is a state-of-art amalgamation of automotive, computer, network and transit technologies which could prove to be very economical if properly managed. This research project investigates the status of personal rapid transit (PRT) applications in congested urban and developed environments, to understand the characteristics and attributes of these systems, to explore the viability of a PRT system in Indian cities, and to prepare a synthesis report and presentation that document the project's findings. The system is running successfully at Heathrow Airport, Morgantown (US), Masdar City UAE and various other success stories are discussed in the paper. The paper deals with discussion and comparison of PRT with other modes of transport as well.
